Will the suspension stuff from a 78 c10 1/2 bolt up to my 68 gmc 3/4 ton?

thanks!

If you were to pull the engine, and swap the entire front cross member over, then the front end would go in. You'd end up hogging out a hole or two.
As for the rear, you'd have to do some spring perch modifications since they are not in the right location, then you'd also have to move the shock mounts.
